canadians are smart

It's like I keep telling you. You people up north have brains in your heads.

ALPF sent the results of a recent poll of 1,000 Canadians. It included:

More than three-quarters of Canadians said they didn't think the United States should try to promote the creation of democratic governments in other countries, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll.

U.S. President George W. Bush said in his January inaugural address that the United States would work to end tyranny and promote democracy around the world. But only 22 per cent of Canadians polled thought that would be an appropriate role for the United States.

Apparently most Canadians aren't interested in boycotting American-made products to back up their political views. My question is, what are American-made products? Maybe they mean American companies making products in Mauritius and Indonesia.

There is a tendency to think that what we see in the present moment will continue. We forget how often we have been astonished by the sudden crumbling of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people's thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible.Howard Zinn
